The place is big and has a lot of potential to be great, but there is nothing there. No trees, no places to sit, not even a picture to let us know how it was. It looks like an empty lot, that's waiting for permits to build a skyscraper on it. It's a shame. It could be a magnificent place if the city will invest in it a little bit like they do on other historical sites.

There is not much to see here. Nothing but a large field of grass vaguely resembling an elongated horseshoe, this is what remains of the ancient circus maximus. Unless you have seen and studied reconstructions of this once fabulous stadium there is really nothing here for you. I has been turned into a field where locals take their dogs to run around and relieve themselves. The ruins of palatine palace above it are far more impressive

Was going to the Colosseum and the train didn't stop there so got off at the next stop and walked up into the final day of the Giro d'Italia. What an incredible experience, it's such a beautiful spot and the crowds and the grandiosity of the backdrop makes this a memory of note. Such an experience, so grateful for the serendipity. Such a fantastic day.

Circus Maximus, once the heart of ancient Rome's public life, stands as an enduring testament to Roman engineering and entertainment. This vast chariot racing stadium, rich in history, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Although it's mostly ruins now, its grand scale and historical significance still impress visitors.

We visited Circo Massimo for the Måneskin concert at 9/7/22. The place is huge and we were more than 70.000 people at the concert. This means you don’t really see anything if you’re far from the stage (the stage should have been a bit taller). The place was overall very accessible and we had no issues during the entrance. The overall concert experience though, as well as the atmosphere, were great.

I'm from Rome and I've been her lots of time, but last night I went for the Travis Scott concert and It was wonderful. Everything was amazing in such an Amazing spot!

Easily accessible (and free!) historical site that's no less impressive than the nearby Roman Forum. You get to walk around and get a sense of the impressive scale of the ruins of what was once chariot-racing grounds.

It is a large open field park with enclosed ruin on the south side. While the park itself is free, there is fee for the Maximus circus experience (€10 which is VR EXPERIENCE) and ruin archaeology site (€4/ adult). Yet, even without paying admission, we can still view the ruin site from above elevated platform and for picture taking. So overall, I would say if you just want a small dose of ruin and forum experience, that is nice and free.

There is nothing left of the old chariot ring, but you can go and walk by foot on its path. It's free and great for a nice stroll. You can really feel how gigantic the Circus Maximus really was. It's so long that you can barely see the other side that well, moreso who was leading in a chariot race. It used to hold up to 150,000 spectators and had the size of 5 football fields! The roaring of the crowds must have been spectacular here, at the Circus Maximus and several hundred feet further down at the Colosseum. There is also a museum where you can visit the ruins, but it closes early.

This is now a park but for visitors there is the (paid) experience centre. It is nice just to sit and imagine what it was like in the Roman times, also the wonder at the crucifixion of St Peter at the same place. Many Romans go there for runs when the weather is good.

One of the most important places in Rome. This very old arena is good almost for everything: from drinking beer to have a run. Before covid, they used to organize concerts there. That's a very historical point of the city, it's also in front of a metro station, so it's easy to reach. From here, you can go by walking to the main attractions in Rome such as piazza Venezia and the Colosseo.

There is not much to see as it is now a park, however it is l good to see as it definitely leaves an impression about its original, enormous scale as a chariot racing venue in ancient times.

I love the atmosphere. Even though majority of the building have been lost, you can still feel the grandness of the place. You can imagine how the chariots raced back then.

Site in decay. Rome could have done better. They use it partially as concert venue. It has lost its value... For now

We visited Circo Massimo for the Imagine Dragons concert. Considering that it was ~10k+ people - it was amazingly organized and there was not a feeling of overwhelmed crowds. Listening to music in a historical place with the ruins and trees around you give a really special vibe.

Historical place. Beautiful view of a racing track when animals are kept before the race. Metro B circo massimo stop is a better option to reach there. When i visit there the track reconstruction work is in progress. It's very near the Colosseum.

We took to the Metro from the Vatican here and it took about 10 or 15 minutes. It's a really nice place to visit with the old site excavated to show you where the animals were kept prior to racing. Nice location. Easy to get to, close to the Collusseum and very interesting visit.

Great to see where the events took place, a quiet and often missed gem of ancient Rome. Next to it is the mouth of truth (if you've seen the film Roman holiday it's a must) and the relics of St Valentine himself.

When we went there was a concert being cleaned up from the night before so you couldn't really access it. There were also walls along the outside of the area you usually could see into the protected part (if you don't go into it by paying the small amount, not sure you could that day). Would have been nice if all of that wasn't blocked off from the top. It was still nice to see a piece of history!

Not much to see here. No info panels or anything. If you're visiting, make sure you get yourself an audio guide from somewhere or book a tour, otherwise there isn't much to do here.

Its a very nice place for spending some time with your love one

Majority of it was behind a fence. Looked like some constructio was taking place which ruined the experience of visiting the park. Still impressive though just pictures not as pretty

Takes you back to when those great races were held there!

Nice place to visit if there is a race, or an event. Otherwise it's not much.

The Circus Maximus ( Italian: Circo Massimo) is an ancient Roman chariot-racing stadium and mass entertainment venue in Rome, Italy. In the valley between the Aventine and Palatine hills, it was the first and largest stadium in ancient Rome and its later Empire. It measured 621 m (2,037 ft) in length and 118 m (387 ft) in width and could accommodate over 150,000 spectators.[2] In its fully developed form, it became the model for circuses throughout the Roman Empire. The site is now a public park.

We walked to and then in the former location of the chariot races. Although there is virtually nothing left, it's still pretty impressive to be at this impressive location. You can walk across or from end to end. There are foot paths worn in the ground.

Wondering how they could fit over 250,000 people into that area and thinking what it may have looked like so long ago. Now it’s a nice park where people play soccer and enjoy the outdoors, it’s a lovely place to visit while in Rome

If you stop and think that you are literally in the presence of where ancient Roman leaders held chariot races, you feel something inside. It is now a free public park to be enjoyed by all. It also used for paid events/concerts which I suspect would be an amazing experience considering the history of the space! Right next to Circus Maximus is the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

Once a chariot-racing stadium, now s big puplic park. Various events are often organized in this park, such as large concerts. When we visited Circo Maximmo, the Formula 1 of horse-riding was held there. There is the Palatine Hill in background, which looks really nice.

We went around 11pm on new year's eve and there was a concert that was great with a lot of people. Unfortunately we couldn't get to the very front which is to be expected, still a great time!

It was simply amazing to see the remains of the chariot racing track at Circus Maximus. Such a shame that so little of it remains to be viewed and I really wish that they would remove the hideous modern tower. However it's such a worthwhile trip to take a look, imagine how crazy it must have been at the time. Roman ingenuity everywhere...check the photos, told you the tower was hideous 😎

Didn't get to go to the museum so not sure how the experience there is with the VR, but does have some areas to walk through and information about it. Outside of that it's just a big field you can walk over and pretend you are marching for the nobles looking down from the hill above. Cool historically, but if you aren't going to the museum, don't feel like you are missing something too cool to see. The ruins don't really offer much new for the area without the museum information attached.

We went there the day of the Italian Farmers Market in October. It was crazy busy but great to see so many vendors. You have to buy food and drink vouchers and the lines are long but worth it!

Amazing end of year night

Another piece of history an easy walk from the centre of the city you really should visit. Built for chariot racing and estimated to have been able to seat 250,000 - it’s now down to its bare bones but still very much worth visiting

The Maximus Experience with virtual googles brings the circus alive. Will take app. 1 hour and is really worth it. Start from the area where the tower is.

This was a very disappointing visit today as we had been expecting definitely a lot more of leftover of the buildings, stones and more, but basically, you can only recognize the racing circuit, get an idea about the size of it but there is nothing left at all, so you will be needing to take a good look at various pictures which are being supplied in Google in order to imagine how it might have had looked centuries ago.. but the size is impressive

I think this place is one of the more over looked attractions in Rome. Its worth taking the time to stand an imagine the atmosphere the chariot races mush have created.

It ain't one of the prettiest. But if you happen to pass by, just check it out. Even from the outside you'll get a good look at everything.

I think they could do something to enhance the history of this place. All you will see is a large open field.

Close to the mouth of the truth, worth a visit if you are there. Unfortunately nowadays there is nothing visible, but if you get to see how it was in pictures you will understand how incredibly it was!

There isn’t much left to see of the Circus Maximus, but you can get a feel for the size & scale of the place. It’s also a great spot to view the palazzo in the forum from outside the forum.

Large open space.... great views ... close to the coliseum.

Try the VR experience. Worth the money if you like history and only €12 and about 40 minutes

It may be nice place, but during our visit an concert was being prepared, so we has to stay outside. Seems like big empty place, just with important name.

It is incredible to imagine what occurred here. It is interesting to see how it has changed with time and is now a place for locals to relax.

Huge green field thatvised to be a circus in antient times. Some stone remains of buildings are left on one side

Well worth a visit but do not expect much. Right off the visit. We did not do the Virtual Reality tour but I suspect we did not miss much. Worth the approx 12 euros to walk around the ruins and go up the tower.

It resembles the area maybe once upon a time was a hipodrom. It has a good view around and more importantly there are many places to park around which is a little pain if you are visiting Rome with a car. The parking isn't free but free parking areas can be find around.

Great place to hang around and also for doggo walks.

This place remind me of the movie Ben Hur. They were busy to setting up many tents when we were there, a day before the Rome marathon. A much peaceful and gentler race than the Roman chariot race but not any easier I guess.

It’s a straight 8 - 10 minute walk from the Coliseum so very convenient. When we arrived, it looked a bit sad and empty, quite a bummer. If you use your imagination you can envision what it may have looked like back in its heyday. I hope more effort is put into this site someday.

To see the ruins is free; The Maximus Experience is at a really affordable charge. Awesome for history buffs...sucks for kids.

For a concert it is a shocker. There is a reason why most concert venues are in a bowl shape......not a cigar shape with the stage at one end. Not to mention that the organisation was absolutely appalling. Guns N Roses however were f....... awesome.

Not much is left of this ancient horse racing track, but it’s still an interesting place to visit and imagine how it must have been in its full glory. You also get a nice view of the Palatine Hill.

Thoroughly enjoyed exploring Circus Maximus! It's a lot less crowded than other Rome attractions, offering a peaceful and relaxing break from the city's fast pace. Definitely worth a visit - the fact that the same area is still used today as a park is very special

It is a great walk. But please don't plan your day around it. Also make sure to read about it a bit when you are there. without context there is not much to see. It is a great place to sit for a picnic and relax in the middle of your walk. Side note, I have been to Tyre lebanon, and the Circus Maximus has a lot more to see. Might be worth checking out. Check it out on Google or wiki.

It's a park that you can walk through or take pictures of, from a distance. Originally where the chariots raced. A palace is up above, on the hill.
